Corne du diable (French for "Horn of the devil") is a contemporary interpretation of the classic English India Pale Ale. This new style, born on the west coast of North America, is characterized by stronger and hoppier beers. The result is a red ale expressing caramel flavours coming from the malt, sharp bitterness and powerful hop aromas, thanks to dry hopping.

341ml bottle from HogtownHarry! Nose of sweetness, flowery and light piney hops, and caramel; copper with a big off-white head; flavor is hop bitterness, pine, with some balancing, lightly sweet caramel. Finish is light bitterness! Pretty good IPA!

Huge, whipped cream-like head, dirty yellow, leaving beautiful rings over reddish-amber beer. Superb hoppy nose with overwhelming notes as from exotic fruit, giving mango, guave, lytchee, muscatgrapes and rosewater, as well as dry lupuline. Sharp hoppy flavour, quite bitter. Finish is fruity, again reviving retronasal al those nasal aromas. But in the aftertaste, the bitterness becomes metallic. Slightly oily, slick MF, medium to well bodied. It’s rare to find such a balanced, interesting beer in this style. Just the very last metallic bitterness is a tad too harsh. For the rest, it can better most Americans. GRAND merci, Sylvain (& copains!)

Bottled. A slightly hazy red-amber beer with a medium tan head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy - with both notes of grass and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy again with notes of grass and grapefruit, but also pine needles, leading to a very bitter finish.

(Bottle 34,1 cl) Courtesy of mortendb. Clear, amber golden with a dense, creamy, beige, lacing head. Fresh aroma of citrus and peach. Medium-bodied with sweetish caramel and very fresh, fruity flavours provided by the aroma hops. Dry, hoppy finish. 120108

12 fl oz bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. Pours slight hazy orange to amber with a lacing head. Thick hoppy aroma. Flavour is dry malty, dry pine hoppy and with a dry finish. Not overly bitter. Quite mild and almost tea like flavour. Interesting difference between the aroma and flavour. Unsure if that is intentional. Finish builds up a solid bitterness.

Hazy red amber. Hoppy fruity nose with light caramel. Flavor is a bit disapointing. The aroma leads up to more. Mild fruity and hoppy. Finishes bitter.

Reddish-amber. Bright. Rich chewy, very woody hop aroma. Full mouthfeel, woody, dry hopping with a rich, earthy, caramelly character. Rich brown sugar. Clean, rich bitterness.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a nice thick and quite big foamy head with some good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of resin hops with some nice floral notes. Taste is also dominated by some resin hoppy notes with a subtle caramel malt profile and ends with some bitter notes. Body is quite full with a nice texture and some good carbonation.
